Calling All Readers!
Find a Conversation

In the 'Polls' folder below, there are often threads and discussions on books we are reading, have read or want to read and I've noticed that a lot of us who post here have similar tastes, interests and opinions in literature. Well, maybe not opinions but that's what makes the discussion interesting!
Sue (ljd_mom), Amelia (willow54sunset) and me (hydrangea_blue) think it would be fun and interesting to start a book discussion thread here. (I know there is actually an iVillage Book Discussions board, but we thought it would be more fun to do this with people we already 'know' :-))
We've decided on "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" by Kim Edwards as our first novel. Only Sue currently has the book in her possession, so the rest of us are going to get it bought and get started reading this week.
Anybody else interested? Please feel free to join us in this! Look for the thread later this week or next -- It'll be called "Memory Keeper" or something similar.
Hope to see you all down below!

Hi Marie! Amelia, Sue and I are working on ironing out how this will work, and I just got an e-mail from Amelia. We felt that breaking the reading up into sections or #s of chapters, then doing discussion was a way to good start. What do you think? It seems like page 71 is a good first stopping/discussion point, which is up through chapter 4 and end of 1964.
I'm so happy that you are joining in! I just mentioned to Amelia that I hoped you would! This is my first experience with a book discussion of any sort so I think I'll leave the facilitating part to those of you who are more experienced in it.
The munchies part will be interesting. I'll go first there because that is something I DO have experience in!
'See' you soon! Feel free to e-mail me, too. It may be a good idea to keep the extraneous 'clutter' off the board until we get started.
